Sal’s Resilience Doughnut presentation at Loyola College for our Year 10 cohort was truly transformative. Sal's engaging and insightful approach captivated our students from start to finish. He adeptly communicated the importance of resilience in a relatable and inspiring way for teenagers. The practical strategies and anecdotes from people within the community he shared resonated deeply with our students, equipping them with valuable tools to navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.

The feedback from our students and staff has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the immediate impact of his message. We are incredibly grateful for Sal's contribution to our school's wellbeing program and look forward to welcoming him back in the future. Thank you, Sal, for making such a positive difference in the lives of our students.

We were blessed to have Sal Valentino present to our Year 10s on the Resilience Doughnut. Sal was extremely engaging and captured the audience with his knowledge, wit, and his ability to connect with students. A Year 10 audience can be tough to engage but Sal knew the climate and was able to connect with all our students. It was evident that Sal has a strong educational background and is a highly capable presenter who with sound theory behind his practice. The students left on a high and I know they took with them the tools that Sal provided regarding resilience. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Thankyou Sal, you made a difference.

We engaged Aspire Wellbeing Education to be the keynote presenter for our recent Year 10 Retreat.

Sal from Aspire delivered an engaging and timely presentation on building Resilience to our students, demonstrating both expertise in the material and skilled audience interaction. His natural ability to connect with students was evident throughout the session, maintaining their attention through a balanced mix of discussion, movement, and practical exercises.

The introduction of techniques like box breathing provided students with simple yet effective tools for managing overwhelming situations. Sal's approach to delivering complex wellbeing concepts was particularly effective with our boys, who responded well to the interactive format and hands-on activities.

What stood out was Sal's capacity to manage a large group while keeping the session both productive and engaging. The impact of his presentation was clearly demonstrated by students continuing to discuss the strategies the following day, indicating that the key messages had resonated with them.

The session successfully balanced educational content with practical application, making important wellbeing strategies accessible and memorable for our students.

We have booked Aspire Wellbeing to work with our Senior School students during our upcoming HeadStart Program, sure that we will receive professionally delivered, research-based wellbeing content.
